Processing method, device and apparatus for mesh network, and storage medium

Abstract

Disclosed are a processing method, device, apparatus for a mesh network, and a storage medium. The method is implemented by a node in the mesh network, including acquiring root node information of at least two root nodes in conflict if any root node conflict is detected in the mesh network; and according to the root node information of the at least two root nodes in conflict, selecting a new root node from the at least two root nodes in conflict as a root node to be used in the mesh network. In the embodiments of the present invention, according to the root node information of the two root nodes, a new root node is selected as the root node to be used in the mesh network, so as to realize direct communication between nodes in the entire wireless mesh network, and to reduce the traffic throughput of the root node.

The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A processing method for a mesh network, implemented by an intermediate node in the mesh network, the method comprising:
 receiving root node information broadcasted by other intermediate nodes and/or root nodes; 
 a root node conflict is detected in the mesh network, if the root node information of the local intermediate node is different from the received root node information; and 
 broadcasting root node conflict information to at least two root nodes in conflict, wherein the root node conflict information is used for indicating the at least two root nodes to select a new root node as a root node to be used in the mesh network. 
 
     
     
       2. The processing method for a mesh network according to  claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:
 if a disconnection indication sent by a root node connected with the local intermediate node is received, disconnecting the connection of the root node with the local intermediate node, and establishing a connection with the new root node. 
 
     
     
       3. An apparatus, configured in an intermediate node of the mesh network, comprising:
 one or more processors; 
 a storage device for storing one or more programs, 
 when the one or more programs are executed by the one or more processors, the one or more processors are caused to perform the operations comprising: 
 receiving root node information broadcasted by other intermediate nodes and/or root nodes; 
 a root node conflict is detected in the mesh network, if the root node information of the local intermediate node is different from the received root node information; and 
 broadcasting root node conflict information to at least two root nodes in conflict, wherein the root node conflict information is used for indicating the at least two root nodes to select a new root node as a root node to be used in the mesh network. 
 
     
     
       4. The apparatus according to  claim 3 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 if a disconnection indication sent by a root node connected with the local intermediate node is received, disconnecting the connection of the root node with the local intermediate node, and establishing a connection with the new root node.
